Player Mikey Moore

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Rangers winning 1-0 at half time, Mikey's done alright and been bright enough, got his head on the cross the goal eventually came from and has showed a couple of good feints where the ball just hasn't ran for him.

Subbed off there, he'll be raging with himself, had a bad 5 minute spell just before the hour mark where he fluffed a good chance to do something and then another opportunity where he played a poor pass and then he got booked for pulling a guy back. Yellow card for pure frustration.

I'd back him to score next game he starts as it happens.
 
Been watching those 'every touch' highlights of his recent games.

Looks like he's gradually getting there. He's got a lovely touch, great close control and seems to be handling the physicality of the men's game a lot better than he was a year ago. Definitely looks bigger, stronger and gets stuck in defensively more than he used to.

Still feels like he's lacking a bit in his decision making and final ball. He's nice and tidy - clearly better technically than most of our squad - but I think his lack of pace and explosivity means he needs to be really strong in other areas of his game if he wants to make it in the PL. He strikes me as someone that could thrive playing for a technical team in Spain where there's lots of short passing and interplay, but think he'd struggle with the more chaotic, transitional nature of the Prem at his current level.

Think it's clear he needs at least another year on loan, maybe even two, but he's looking very promising for a player his age. I'd be looking for a top end Championship loan next season I reckon - more games at a higher standard than the SPL - and then take it from there.

He is soo mature and thoughtful. The “want to be at a club trying to Win things” part did concern me more than a little though!

Do think another year, preferably Bundesliga, will be right for Mikey. Wouldn’t be unhappy if he does another season up there, if he doesn’t want to go overseas.

Want him to be given an extension summer as well, chunky one to show we believe fully in him.

Ffs why does he have to have another on loan! We keep and buy players worse than him and give them minutes. Why not develop MM instead. Isn’t that what vinai said Frank was going to do, develop our academy prospects. Other teams throw in their youngsters even goons playing a 16 yr old in the PL. we should be brave and show some faith in our boys. No on can tell me some of the players we have bought for huge fees are better than what we already have just they never given a chance. And we have fan base who always say need another yr on loan blah blah blah. Then within that yr we will go out and buy another bloody youngster who will get first team minutes. Our boys go further down pecking order.

Moore won't be ready to start for us this coming season. He'd be better off starting every game in the Champo for a season before he comes back where he might be stuck on the bench for us for games in a row, minimum.

Agree though- would like to see us integrate him soon. Next season likely without even lower-tier euro ball though, we'll be better off getting these kids loans and running a very tight high-quality rotation.

The 16yr old at Arse has sat on the bench for weeks now, Ngumoha at Liverpool gets 10mins now and again, he was England under 17 with Mikey. Arse have loaned out Nwaneri who is just about good enough to start for them, he wasn’t getting a game. I think if you measure Mikey against Tel he stands up well . It’s easier to play boys if you are doing well not just above the bottom 3. Will depend what he looks like in pre season.
Seems to be getting better all the time in Scotland. Scored a really good goal v Hibs but just offside by leaning forward. He gets knocked about a fair bit but gives as good as he gets.
